Thank you, @janemc, I appreciated the chuckle. As my primary Dr said, "Wouldn't be nice if ET went home!" ... But, as a retired liberal pastor, when I asked myself, "Why me?", I answered, "Why not, me?" I could have it much worse. My beloved cousin, with whom I had a particularly close relationship for 50 years, died at 70 a year-and-a-half ago from ALS. I will make it on this journey because of the wisdom of this group and its support, and others dear to me. Bless you, all!
